Good day. Here is my experience with the actual app and then with the companies.
As far as apps, I hav eonly used Blind Square. It is relatively easy to use and is very effective. I use it quite often when looking for businesses or buildings on my campus.The Blind Square team are very customer oriented and friendly. If you contact them with an issue, they respond within the day if not sooner. I have been really happy with it’s abilities and features.
Now the Seeing Eye app I have not tried. I wanted to though.Last year, I contacted the Sendero and the Seeing Eye app team and asked them if I could have a demo or trail version to see if I like the app before purchasing. After 3 emails and one month later they finally responded. I also told them that I was organizing a state convention and that it would be a great opportunity to promote the app and let some folks try the app; I even offerred to promote and have a discussion on the app. Their reply was, and this was March, that they had already expended all that they could to give out trial or demo version. They said they would not be interested and stated taht people should just purchase the app if they want to try it.Not very customer service oriented.
Now notice the difference. I contacted Blind Square They immediately contacted me on the same day and said we would love to have you promote our app at your convention. In fact, they said we will make our app free to all of your attendants at the convention so that anyone can try it out. Plus, they gave us several full version codes that we could give away as door prizes.
So here are my thoughts. Blind Square’s customer satisfaction and service far surpasses the other. Also, Blind Square’s app works wonderfully with many great and easy to use features. Thus, I highly recommend the Blind Square app
Thanks
